10bit depth (hi10p)

(Tutorial)

Well, it seems like there are lots of people who don't know why all our new videos look bad.

The answer: Since October, we're using 10bit depth to our encodes, and it can't be played properly using old decoders.

What's the difference between hi10p and the old one (8bit depth)?
You won't get lots of banding (well, you have never see that on our videos, so you might not know what does it mean :3c), and it needs less bitRAGE than before, so the videos should be lighter than before.
TL;DR: it looks better.

CONS:
- It's a bit heavier to play it, but we go where the technology goes.
- I think there aren't homeplayers to decode it. Solution: connect your laptop to your TV using an HDMI.

PROS:
- Less banding.
- Less filesize.

Ok, ok.. but how can I decode/play it?
There are many ways. The easy one is using CCCP.
